Is anyone working on a competitor to Citra?

Citra's kind of a grossly incompetent emulator with even more grossly incompetent people working on it. Was wondering if anyone else is getting the ball rolling for a decent-running 3DS emulator on PC which is more feature-complete than Citra is.

I mean. if its that awful. just go get some real hardware. play the games and enjoy them. I dont think you're ever going to see anything else since there was never a need for them.

I do have real hardware. I just need something for streaming/sharing purposes which isn't complete dogshit.

You always can open a IDE and start to coding to create a emulator for yourself. maybe create a Git store and put all the code you create from scratch for everyone to modify or take advantage of it.

go ahead.

Didn't the guy behind this retire?
He did retire the project in 2020 but resumed development a couple months ago after some new opportunities popped up. Mikage seems pretty far along now so I don't anticipate it will be a much longer wait.

Sweet. I'm looking forward to the fruits of his development if he manages to push a PC version out. Here's hoping that the end result meets the bare minimum standard that Citra's devs couldn't reach.

Gotta love the complaint of: isn't X terrible? Where can I find the superior hypothetical Y? Crickets.

It's "grossly incompetent," yet still hasn't been surpassed... Maybe if you complain louder a "more competent" version will materialize out of thin air.

It's easy to contribute to anything by providing helpful criticism. This isn't helpful criticism.

Now, the devs might not be people that can accept helpful criticism, but that's out of your hands.

I can't agree or disagree with your opinion of Citra, i simply use it an enjoy it, i honestly don't care about the developers of the project as i don't know them, but so far they managed to put a decent piece of software and are improving it even now.
If you want something else, get a New 3DS, and install CFW, there are plugins to stream it via local network to your computer of choice.
PD: If you are gonna throw shit to someone, at least back it up with something, anyone can say "X is dogshit, and the ones making X are dogshit too", but with no actual backing of actual facts about them, or their project (the project itself in this case is fine in my opinion), you just sound like a fool crying to the wind because you are upset and that sums well your post.

Oh, look. Another person that shits on emulators yet isn't capable of programming jack squat. Shut up and bring your piss somewhere else, you aren't welcomed here

You might want to explain your position? Besides only using OpenGL, there is nothing to complain about regarding Citra of which I am aware. The Devs have already explained, multiple times, that they don't have anyone on their team that can develop for Vulkan, so its not going to happen. If someone wanted to contribute to the project and write for Vulkan, I am sure they would be happy to have that person contribute.

why do you go around talking shit about others , when you can't contribute to anything your self?
You don't have to be a great chef to know shit food.

I actually was wondering if anyone was working on a different emulator which is better and has more care put into it than Citra. Defending it or its lead developers is a weird hill to die on.

Yeah, but you can criticize an emulator without shitting on its developers. What the hell did you develop in your life? Oh, right. NOTHING!

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary

    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
